I told you in the previous posts that I will share about different Chinese ornamental knot jewelry tutorials. So here's another one: The Button Knot and Flat Button Knot.

Button knots represents the cyclical nature of all existence because as you can see like the Pan Chang Knot, it does not have a beginning or end, it just goes on forever. This endless pattern for the Chinese people is a sign of good luck.

This knot is also good and nice to be made into an earring. You can try out different knot colors so as to fit anyone like the bracelet above that is made with subtle colors to fit both women and men alike.

These are some examples of button knot earrings from Tranquility Knot's shop:
